2015 Bears Offseason (Foxy new Head Coach page 104)

It feels like Lovie.

 

Jack Del Rio without the personality, IMO. But I actually like Del Rio. I honestly feel Lovie is a better coach.

I would take Del Rio over Fox.

We could probably get him as OC and bring in a defensive HC.

Fox basically greased his skids on the way out of both Carolina and Denver. Sort of the same stuff the Doug Marrone hit pieces referenced.

[RynoRules]

I mentioned this earlier, but I think that Fox is this era's Schottenheimer. Competent and decent, but not exceptional or terribly creative. He does have two SB appearances as a coach, something Schotty didn't have even have half of.

I'm guessing Schottenheimer outperformed the hell out of Fox on a W/L basis for the first ~2/3 of their respective careers. Did Marty have more than 1 or 2 losing seasons, ever?

[Banedon]

They not only fired Fox, but the whole coaching staff...Gase included.

 

What a strange scenario.

You're absolutely correct that Schotty was more successful in the regular season overall. That said. Fox had some fairly underwhelming Carolina teams (particularly in terms of offensive talent) during his run and they were largely competitive.

So yes, no question, Bears highly interested in John Fox, source tells me.

Fox could be viewed by them as a sort of transitional object. The team is a mess and the last administration was apparently very unprofessional. Fox could be brought in to clean all that up, perhaps.

Yeah, the Ricky Renteria of the Bears?

That's what it looks like to me. Maybe Gase comes with him? I know he isn't popular around here these days, but I also don't see how you can blame Gase for the fact that Manning could barely throw yesterday.

Not really. I get the idea and theoretical value of a total pro coach with all sorts of ties to other pro coaches and the theoretical ability to assemble a high quality staff.

 

I'm just not sure Fox actually is that type of guy.

[Guest]

Fox would be more like if we hired Girardi when we hired Renteria.

[UMFan83]

This would the type of hire that a unproven young GM would make after

seeing the last GM run out of town after 3 seasons because he took a giant risk for a HC and it failed. Safe, high floor low ceiling hire

[minnesotacubsfan]

Fox reminds me of Tom Coughlin a lot. Now, if he could come here and win a couple of super bowls late in his career I'll be a huge fan.

[rawaction]

Hopefully Fox wants to sit out a year.

Hopefully Fox wants to sit out a year.

Turning 60 and assuming he's not being paid by Denver that would be a huge gamble by him.

[gscool89]

RT @AdamSchefter: John Fox declined HC interview with Jets, per NFL source. Hard to imagine turning down one HC chance unless there's real chance for another.

[ctcf]

I mean also it's the [expletive] Jets.

 

So Jim Schwartz is leaving Buffalo.

I'd take Jim Shorts as my DC
